Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quenching agent cooling technology, specifically an environmentally friendly quenching agent cooling device. Background Technology
[0002] Quenching is a metal heat treatment process in which a metal workpiece is heated to a suitable temperature and held for a period of time, and then immersed in a quenching agent for rapid cooling. Quenching agents usually have an optimal operating temperature, but the temperature of the workpiece is very high after heating. When it is placed in the quenching agent, the temperature of the quenching agent rises. After a period of use, the quenching agent will reach a high temperature, reducing its effectiveness. At this time, a cooling device is needed to cool the quenching agent.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, an environmentally friendly quenching agent cooling device includes a cooling cylinder 1, a closed cover 2 is provided on the top of the cooling cylinder 1, insert plates 6 are symmetrically provided on the surface of the closed cover 2, a positioning frame 23 is symmetrically provided on the surface of the cooling cylinder 1, a slot for the insert plates 6 to move is provided on the upper surface of the positioning frame 23, and a drain pipe 4 is connected to the bottom of the cooling cylinder 1 through a solenoid valve 3.
[0036] A stirring assembly is disposed on the upper surface of the closed cover 2 and is used to stir the quenching agent;
[0037] A cooling assembly is installed on the inner wall of the cooling cylinder 1 and is used to cool the quenching agent.
[0038] The heat dissipation components are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the closed cover 2 and are used to dissipate heat from the cooling cylinder 1.
[0039] A filter assembly is installed on the surface of the heat dissipation assembly and is used to filter toxic gases.
[0040] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to cool down the high-temperature quenching agent, the quenching agent is first added to the cooling cylinder 1. When the quenching agent enters the cooling cylinder 1, the cooling component starts to operate. At this time, the cooling component can effectively absorb heat and cool down the quenching agent. During the operation of the cooling component, the stirring component will also start to operate simultaneously. At this time, the stirring component can effectively improve the cooling efficiency and effect of the cooling component on the quenching agent. During the operation of the stirring component, the heat dissipation component will start to operate simultaneously. At this time, the heat dissipation component can effectively discharge the high-temperature gas inside the cooling cylinder 1, thereby further improving the cooling rate of the quenching agent. When the gas enters the filter component, the filter component can effectively filter and purify the gas, thereby preventing toxic impurities in the gas from being emitted into the air and affecting the environment and the health of the staff. This effectively improves the overall practicality and environmental friendliness of the device. After the quenching agent is cooled down, the solenoid valve 3 opens, and the quenching agent will be discharged through the drain pipe 4, making it convenient for the staff to reuse the quenching agent.
[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a locking block 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning frame 23. A connecting rod 25 is slidably inserted into the locking block 24. One end of the connecting rod 25 extends to the outside of the locking block 24 and is fixedly connected to a pull ring. The other end of the connecting rod 25 is fixedly connected to an abutment plate 26. A return spring 27 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 25. The return spring 27 abuts against the abutment plate 26 and the locking block 24. Insert rods 28 are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the abutment plate 26. The contact surfaces of the locking block 24 and the positioning frame 23, as well as the surface of the insert plate 6, are provided with mounting grooves for the insertion rods 28 to move. When it is necessary to install the closing cover 2 between the closing cover 2 and the cooling cylinder 1, simply pull the pull ring first. At this time, the pull ring will drive the cooling cylinder 1 to move. The connecting rod 25 and the contact plate 26 move synchronously. During the movement of the contact plate 26, it will squeeze the return spring 27. The contact plate 26 will also drive the insertion rod 28 to move synchronously. At this time, the insertion plate 6 is inserted into the positioning frame 23, and then the pull ring is released. At this time, the return spring 27 returns to its original position, driving the contact plate 26 and the insertion rod 28 to move synchronously. When the insertion rod 28 is inserted into the mounting groove on the surface of the insertion plate 6, the insertion plate 6 and the positioning frame 23 can be fixed. At this time, the closing cover 2 and the cooling cylinder 1 can be fixedly installed. At the same time, it is convenient for the staff to open the closing cover 2, so as to facilitate the staff to clean the inside of the device.
[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the stirring assembly includes a drive motor 7 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the closed cover 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 7 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 8 via a coupling. Multiple stirring rods 9 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 8. During the operation of the cooling assembly, the drive motor 7 will also start running synchronously. At this time, the drive motor 7 will drive the rotating rod 8 and the stirring rods 9 to rotate synchronously. The stirring rods 9 can effectively stir the quenching agent, thereby effectively improving the cooling efficiency and effect of the cooling assembly on the quenching agent.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cooling assembly includes a cooling pipe 22 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cooling cylinder 1. A fixing frame 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cooling cylinder 1. A circulation pump 19 and a cooling box 20 are respectively installed on the upper surface of the fixing frame 18. Cooling plates 21 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the cooling box 20. The liquid inlet of the circulation pump 19 is connected to the liquid outlet of the cooling pipe 22. The liquid outlet of the circulation pump 19 is connected to the interior of the cooling box 20 through a pipe. The liquid inlet of the cooling pipe 22 is connected to the interior of the cooling box 20. When the quenching agent needs to be cooled, coolant is added to the cooling box 20 first. At this time, the cooling plate 21 starts to operate and can effectively cool the coolant. After the coolant is cooled, the circulation pump 19 starts to operate. At this time, the circulation pump 19 will transfer the coolant to the cooling pipe 22 and then to the cooling box 20 for cooling. This cycle repeats, and the heat in the quenching agent can be effectively absorbed by the coolant in the cooling pipe 22, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the quenching agent.
[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly includes exhaust ducts 15 symmetrically mounted on the upper surface of the closed cover 2. A transmission rod 16 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the exhaust duct 15, and an exhaust fan 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 16. The transmission rod 16 and the rotating rod 8 are connected by a synchronous belt and a pulley. Since the transmission rod 16 and the rotating rod 8 are connected by a synchronous belt and a pulley, the rotating rod 8 will drive the transmission rod 16 to rotate during rotation. The transmission rod 16 will then drive the exhaust fan 17 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the heat inside the cooling cylinder 1 can be discharged by the exhaust fan 17, thereby further improving the cooling efficiency of the quenching agent.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the filtration assembly includes a purification box 10 connected to the upper surface of the exhaust duct 15. A mounting frame 29 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the purification box 10. An activated carbon filter plate 12 is inserted into the mounting frame 29. A side plate 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the activated carbon filter plate 12. A handle is fixedly connected to one side of the side plate 13, and insert blocks 14 are symmetrically arranged on the other side of the side plate 13. A connecting frame 30 is symmetrically arranged on the surface of the purification box 10. Movable grooves for the insert blocks 14 to move are opened on the surface of the connecting frame 30. An exhaust pipe 11 is connected to the upper surface of the purification box 10. During the rotation of the exhaust fan 17, the cold air will be cooled... The heated gas inside the cooling cylinder 1 is transferred to the purification chamber 10. When the gas enters the purification chamber 10, the activated carbon filter plate 12 can effectively filter and purify the toxic impurities in the gas (the staff can select the appropriate filter plate material according to the composition of the toxic gas). After the gas is purified, it will be discharged through the exhaust pipe 11. At this time, the toxic gas can be effectively purified, thereby avoiding the direct emission of toxic gas into the external environment, which would affect the environment and the health of the staff. This effectively improves the overall practicality and environmental friendliness of the device.
[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, a fixing sleeve 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting frame 30. A fixing rod 32 is slidably inserted into the fixing sleeve 31. One end of the fixing rod 32 extends to the outside of the fixing sleeve 31 and is fixedly connected to a pull plate. An abutment plate 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod 32. An abutment spring 34 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 32. The abutment spring 34 abuts between the abutment plate 33 and the fixing sleeve 31. Fixing grooves for the fixing rod 32 to move are opened on the contact surface between the fixing sleeve 31 and the connecting frame 30 and on the surface of the insert block 14. When it is necessary to install the activated carbon filter plate 12, simply pull the pull plate first. Pull the plate, which will cause the fixing rod 32 and the contact plate 33 to move synchronously. During the movement of the contact plate 33, the contact spring 34 will be squeezed. Then, insert the plug 14 into the connecting frame 30 and release the plate. At this time, the contact spring 34 will return to its original position, causing the contact plate 33 and the fixing rod 32 to move synchronously. When the fixing rod 32 is inserted into the fixing groove on the surface of the plug 14, the plug 14 and the connecting frame 30 can be fixed. At this time, the activated carbon filter plate 12 can be installed, and it is also convenient for the staff to disassemble and replace the activated carbon filter plate 12.
[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5As shown, a support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cooling cylinder 1. A rubber anti-slip pad is glued to the bottom of the support frame 5. Herringbone anti-slip grooves are evenly spaced on the bottom of the rubber anti-slip pad. The rubber anti-slip pad and the herringbone anti-slip grooves can effectively increase the friction between the support frame 5 and the ground, thereby preventing the device from shifting or tipping over during operation and effectively improving the stability of the device during operation.
[0048] The above embodiments disclose an environmentally friendly quenching agent cooling device. When cooling a high-temperature quenching agent is required, the quenching agent is first added to the cooling cylinder 1. When the quenching agent enters the cooling cylinder 1, the circulation pump 19 starts operating. At this time, the circulation pump 19, in conjunction with the cooling pipe 22 and the coolant inside the cooling pipe 22, effectively absorbs heat and cools the quenching agent. During the operation of the circulation pump 19, the drive motor 7 also starts operating synchronously. The drive motor 7 drives the stirring rod 9 to rotate synchronously, thereby effectively improving the cooling efficiency and effect of the coolant on the quenching agent. During the rotation of the rotating rod 8... This will drive the transmission rod 16 and the exhaust fan 17 to start rotating synchronously. At this time, the exhaust fan 17 can effectively discharge the high-temperature gas inside the cooling cylinder 1, thereby further improving the cooling rate of the quenching agent. When the gas enters the purification box 10, the activated carbon filter plate 12 can effectively filter and purify the gas, thereby preventing toxic impurities in the gas from being emitted into the air and affecting the environment and the health of the staff. This effectively improves the overall practicality and environmental friendliness of the device. After the quenching agent has cooled down, the solenoid valve 3 opens, and the quenching agent will be discharged through the drain pipe 4, making it convenient for the staff to reuse the quenching agent.
